Features: From a psychological perspective, it is natural to long for the past due to shortcomings in reality. However, human nostalgia often falls into two modes: a sense of nostalgia for one's homeland from a geographical perspective and a longing for childhood from a temporal dimension. Past experiences make us cherish them deeply, and the childhood we can no longer return to remains a beautiful realm of imagination: the bamboo pole reaching for cicadas, the slingshot aimed at small birds, marbles on the mud ground, kites in the wind, colorful cigarette boxes—everything is so vivid, as if in olden times. Unsealing the long-forgotten fantasies and telling the stories within, we can embrace the rich emotions, bringing childhood back to our reality, making it no longer distant.
